Two or Three weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and I just had this incredible pain on the left side of my head. I thought that it would just go away because every blue moon i'll wake up like that and it goes away, but the pain was unbearable! I woke mom up telling her I felt nauseous and just sick. So as a RN nurse, she checked my blood pressure and that was fine, but I was in so much pain, I started shaking, like I couldn't get comfortable for anything. She then said that it was a Cluster headache...I didn't care what it was, I just wanted it to go away, but the thing about those headaches is that all you can do it take ibuprofen, put a cool cloth on the side that hurts and try to go to sleep. I had these heat flashes and had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes, so needless to say it wasn't a good night lol :) But when I finally got comfortable and went to sleep, my head was hurting still but no where near where it was and that was THE best sleep I had ever had in my entire life...I mean it, its nothing like that relief after that kind of pain.
